I believe that a view is just a window into an existing table: a way of saving the terms of a 'SELECT' statement so you don't have to keep restating it. Therefore it has no data of its own, including no rowids of its own. Try doing 'SELECT rowid FROM phonebook_order' and see whether you get any result at all, and whether the numbers are in order.
